Man, I wish I had a modded PS2!

I loved their Fire Pro game for Dreamcast!

These are indeed awesome games.

Jaybird- have you considered installing a fliptop mod? It's inexpensive and if you are patient and can devote a quiet hour or so of your time you can do it yourself pretty easily. I can verify that 99% of all imports I've tried on the fliptop have worked.

Where can I find one of those?

PS2Cover.com sells flip tops. I looked into it but it seemed too difficult for me (I have no skills when it comes to that type of stuff) so I bought a Japanese PS2 instead.

Thank you kindly for the deal. I can't say no to cheap Japanese wrestling games.

[jaybird]

OK, I'm thinking of getting the flip tops. Has anyone tested it with these games?

Also hat are the differences in the two games? Should I get both?

And is it really hard to navigate the menus (since they're in Japanese)? There was a website that had a translation for Fire Pro & that came in real handy.

First of all, glad I looked. I was gonna post about this, but obviously you all already did. ;)

I'm a total mark for wrestling games. Even bad ones usually end up in my collection. Was pysched to get the first 3 Toukon games for the PS1, and a couple other titles when a local game shop sold their rentals. Great stuff. ;)

ANYWAY... I jumped on these. Play Asia is where I got my Panasonic Q Game Boy Player and what a great deal these games are. I went ahead and had them shipped in a box, for the extra protection, but either way should be great.

Is anyone interested in buying a Japanese PS2 to play these games? I have an 18000 series that I bought back when Tekken 4 came out. I've used it to play that and the All Star wrestling titles, but overall it's seen very little use, and I should still have the RCA cable, DVD remote and receiver, and an original controller. The PS2 has been in my closet since I got my PS2 modded, and I don't need to switch between systems to play ALL my games. Would be willing to let it go for less than a new one, and I'm sure it's got LOTS of use left in it.

Just send me a PM if your interested. I can do some looking and offer a fair price.

Both Of These Are Also Pretty Cheap On E-Bay These Days. There both greta games, even better if your have the hard drive to combine the discs

[merkman]

I've got the HD, but I've got HD Loader on it. Now I could format and start over, since I've found I rarely use HD Loader anyway. Most of the time I forget it's even on the system.

But I wonder, is there a way to combine the games while USING HDLoader? May be worth a GameFAQS search.

[merkman]

To answer my own question, FUSION of Red and Green isn't possible with HDLoader. Folks at Monitor's site report that you get lockups, and it just doesn't work... which I kinda expected.

However, I'm not sure I'll be playing these games that much, so I doubt I'll bother to get another HD just so I can merge the two games in my PS2. ;)

I'll probably just stick with one disc or the other when I do play. Though the potential for combining bother rosters, etc. is SWEET! :)

[merkman]

Did anyone else go for this deal at Play-Asia? Did anyone else read that the games wouldn't be "new"? While the copies I received are in plastic, it's not the usual shrink-wrap, and there are NO stickers with the usual UPC codes.

I'm about to open these up and make sure they aren't scratched to hell. If they work I guess it's ok, but I didn't expect used games for my $40 + shipping. Oh, and come to think of it... they shipped in a padded mailer even though I paid for BOXED shipping. Grrr....
